    Study Notes

    Organelles Identification

    • Nucleus: Controls cell activities and genetic information.
    • Lysosome: Contains digestive enzymes for waste breakdown.
    • Centriole: Involved in cell division, aids in spindle fiber formation.
    • Cytoplasm: Semi-fluid medium for cellular processes, facilitates metabolism.
    • Cell membrane: Protective lipid bilayer, regulates substance exchange.
    • Mitochondria: Known as the "powerhouse" of the cell, generates energy.

    Plant Cell Organelles

    • Vacuole: Storage structure for fluids, food, and waste materials.
    • Chloroplast: Site of photosynthesis, converts sunlight into chemical energy (ATP, NADPH).
    • Cell membrane: Similar function as in animal cells, protects and facilitates transport.
    • Golgi apparatus: Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum.
    • Endoplasmic reticulum: Synthesizes proteins and lipids, has rough (with ribosomes) and smooth (without ribosomes) regions.
    • Cell wall: Provides structure and support in plants, fungi, and some bacteria.

    Functions of Key Organelles

    • Nucleus: Regulates cellular functions, stores DNA.
    • Ribosome: Synthesizes proteins from messenger RNA.
    • Endoplasmic reticulum: Processes and transports proteins and lipids.
    • Golgi apparatus: An integral hub for protein modification and delivery.

    Additional Functions

    • Vacuoles: Maintain osmotic balance and store essential compounds.
    • Lysosomes: Digest cellular debris and foreign invaders.
    • Mitochondria: Break down nutrients to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
    • Cell membrane: Determines cell's permeability and communication with the environment.

    More Organelles Insights

    • Cytoplasm: Site for glycolysis and general metabolic activities, contains dissolved macromolecules.
    • Chloroplasts: Contains chlorophyll for photosynthesis, crucial for plant energy conversion.
    • Cell wall: Offers rigidity and defense against mechanical stress and pathogen invasion.
    • Centrioles: Organize microtubules during cell division, critical for proper chromosome segregation.
